The first leg in Monte Carlo ended 1-0 in Benfica’s favor, and now, with home advantage and a Monaco squad struggling with suspensions, the Portuguese giants have a golden opportunity to finish the job in Lisbon. But as any football fan knows, the Champions League loves a little drama.

The Eagles showed their European pedigree last week by grinding out a narrow but vital 1-0 win at the Stade Louis II. It wasn’t the flashiest performance, but in knockout football, results matter more than style. Now, back at the fortress that is Estadio da Luz, Benfica will look to capitalize on their lead and ensure their name is in the draw for the last 16.
History is on their side too. Benfica haven’t lost a home game in the Champions League group stage or knockout rounds in their last 11 matches, making them an intimidating force in Lisbon. With just one goal conceded in their last five home games in all competitions, the defense is rock solid as well.

Things are not looking quite as bright for the visitors. Monaco comes into this match short on options due to multiple suspensions, making an already difficult task even tougher. They must find a way to break down a Benfica side that has been defensively disciplined all season, all while needing at least one goal to stay alive in the tie.
The Ligue 1 outfit has struggled in recent away matches, failing to win in three of their last five on the road. If they are to pull off an upset, they will need a near-perfect performance—one that involves taking risks without leaving the back door wide open for Benfica’s lethal attack.
Can Monaco defy the odds, or will Benfica book their spot in the next round? We’ll find out under the lights in Lisbon on Tuesday
